Lee Do Hyun Confirmed To Star Alongside Lee Byung Hun And Go Youn Jung In Upcoming Historical Action Film

Lee Do Hyun has officially joined the cast of the upcoming film “Nambeol” (romanized title)!

On July 20, a media outlet reported that Lee Do Hyun had been cast in the film “Nambeol.”

In response to the report, the film’s production company Hive Media Corp officially confirmed Lee Do Hyun’s casting.

Set in the early Joseon dynasty, “Nambeol” is a hard-boiled martial arts action film that follows nine warriors of varying abilities and social ranks as they travel to Tsushima Island to rescue captives who have been abducted by Japanese pirates.

Earlier, Lee Byung Hun was confirmed to star as Im Eok, the leader of the group of warriors, while Go Youn Jung will play the strong-willed and independent Ae Ryeong.

Lee Do Hyun will take on the role of Bo Gyeong, a warrior who leads the punitive force at the forefront of the story. Bo Gyeong is a highly skilled fighter and the loyal right-hand man of Im Eok. The character is expected to showcase both intense action and strong camaraderie, making him a multidimensional figure.

The film will be directed by Lee Mo Gae, who is making his feature directorial debut. Lee Mo Gae and Lee Do Hyun previously worked together on “Exhuma,” with Lee Mo Gae serving as the cinematographer. Their strong working relationship from that project is said to have contributed to Lee Do Hyun’s casting in the film.

“Nambeol” is currently in pre-production and is aiming to begin filming in the second half of 2026. Stay tuned for further updates!

Go Youn Jung Talks About Her Wins At ASEA 2026, Recent Projects, And More

Actress Go Youn Jung recently posed for a photo shoot for @style magazine at the third annual Asia Star Entertainer Awards (ASEA), which were held at Belluna Dome in Japan.

In an interview that followed the photo shoot, Go Youn Jung shared her thoughts on her recent projects, her career, and more.

The first half of 2026 was especially busy for Go Youn Jung. Through Netflix’s “Can This Love Be Translated?” and JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here,” she captured viewers’ hearts across both OTT platforms and television. She also added a meaningful milestone to her career by winning two awards at the Asia Star Entertainer Awards (ASEA) 2026.

Expressing her gratitude for her wins, Go Youn Jung said, “Just being invited to such a major awards ceremony was meaningful enough, but I am truly grateful to receive two awards that are so significant.”

She also expressed her affection for the senior actors she collaborated with on her projects. Regarding Koo Kyo Hwan, her co-star in “We Are All Trying Here,” she remarked, “While acting together, there were many moments where it really felt like I was facing Dong Man [Koo Kyo Hwan’s character] himself.” She added, “When you watch him act, he seems incredibly free-spirited, but he is clearly grounded within. I learned a lot [from him] and was very inspired.”

Go Youn Jung also shared her thoughts on returning to film for the second season of “Moving.” “I was really happy to meet the senior actors and friends I worked with in Season 1 again,” she said. “It felt like reuniting with family after a long time, and just being together again made me feel reassured.”

From her debut project “He Is Psychometric” to “Sweet Home” and “Moving,” actress Go Youn Jung has shown a different side of herself in every work. When asked to choose her career-defining role among the characters she has played, she said, “Honestly, it’s hard to pick just one.”

“I feel like every character I’ve played so far has helped broaden my horizons a little bit,” she continued. “It wasn’t any one specific character that made me who I am today, but rather all the characters I’ve portrayed in every project I’ve been a part of until now.”

When asked how she wants to spend her 30s, she commented, “Rather than thinking I need to show a specific image, I want to keep challenging myself with new things like I do now.” She added, “I want to become an actress who doesn’t get boring, someone who can show slightly different sides in every project.”

Go Youn Jung’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the July issue of @style magazine.

Koo Kyo Hwan, Go Youn Jung, Han Sun Hwa, And Sim Hee Sub Share A Blissful Moment In “We Are All Trying Here”

JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here” has shared a sneak peek of a heartwarming moment from its next episode!

“We Are All Trying Here” tells the story of Hwang Dong Man (Koo Kyo Hwan), an aspiring film director who, surrounded by successful friends, believes he is the only one whose life isn’t working out. Consumed by anguish, envy, and jealousy, he sets out on a journey in search of peace.

Spoilers

Previously on “We Are All Trying Here,” Lee Joon Hwan (Sim Hee Sub) was the only member of “The Eight Club” who steadfastly stood by Hwang Dong Man’s side, patiently putting up with his rambling monologues without judging him.

Meanwhile, on the latest episode of the drama, Byun Eun Ah (Go Youn Jung) and Jang Mi Ran (Han Sun Hwa) bonded as Jang Mi Ran opened up about her innermost thoughts and Byun Eun Ah comforted her. Despite being stuck in a complicated situation where she must hide the fact that she’s Oh Jung Hee’s biological daughter, Byun Eun Ah found herself growing genuinely fond of Jang Mi Ran.

In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode, these four characters gather at Hwang Dong Man’s house, where they set up a small Christmas tree and share laughter over drinks and snacks.

Later, the group ventures outside to make memories in the falling snow. Hwang Dong Man, Lee Joon Hwan, and Jang Mi Ran happily dance in the snow with childlike joy, while Byun Eun Ah gazes wistfully up at the night sky.

“This episode will include a moment in which these four people shine the brightest as they briefly leave behind the conventions of society and find comfort in one another’s presence alone,” said the drama’s production team. “As they dance in the heavy snow, they say, ‘I’m happy to have relationships where we can go crazy together.’ Their romantic spirit will be a gift to viewers as well.”

The next episode of “We Are All Trying Here” will air on May 17 at 10:30 p.m. KST.

JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here” tells the story of Hwang Dong Man (Koo Kyo Hwan), an aspiring film director who, surrounded by successful friends, believes he is the only one whose life isn’t working out. Consumed by anguish, envy, and jealousy, he sets out on a journey in search of peace.

Previously on “We Are All Trying Here,” Byun Eun Ah (Go Youn Jung)’s blunt words left a deep impression on Jang Mi Ran (Han Sun Hwa), who was offended by her sharp feedback but also moved by the undeniable truth within it.

In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Jang Mi Ran’s newfound trust in Byun Eun Ah leads her to open up to the other woman about things she’s never told anyone before. Beneath the glamorous facade of her life as a star, Jang Mi Ran is hiding a loneliness and an emotional hunger that has left her drifting aimlessly within a void.

Go Youn Jung Confronts Her Estranged Mother Bae Jong Ok In “We Are All Trying Here”

Go Youn Jung will finally face her trauma by confronting Bae Jong Ok on “We Are All Trying Here”!

Spoilers

Previously on “We Are All Trying Here,” Byun Eun Ah (Go Youn Jung) was seen struggling with the trauma of having been abandoned by her mother Oh Jung Hee (Bae Jong Ok). After casting aside her husband and biological daughter without a moment’s hesitation, Oh Jung Hee replaced her family with a shinier new husband and stepdaughter, leaving Byun Eun Ah with ineffaceable wounds and disillusionment.

In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Byun Eun Ah finally confronts her trauma head-on as she comes face to face with Oh Jung Hee, who has been beautifying the past with lies in order to protect her image as an A-list actress. Byun Eun Ah ultimately explodes in a fit of rage and despair, unleashing all the anger and hurt she has kept bottled up until now.

Notably, all of the tearful emotion that Oh Jung Hee displayed during her awards ceremony acceptance speech is nowhere to be found. Instead, she wears a cold expression with absolutely no sign of feeling apologetic towards her daughter.

Refusing to back down amidst the growing tension, Byun Eun Ah stares back at her mother with a fierce gaze that hints at the deep emotional rift between them.

The “We Are All Trying Here” production team teased, “There is a reason why Byun Eun Ah, who had previously warned her mother not to reveal their relationship and hadn’t wanted to meet her face to face, has agreed to meet Oh Jung Hee. At this meeting, she will once again show that ‘I’m a mild-mannered girl, but I am not a pushover.’”

They added, “Please look forward to the change in Byun Eun Ah, who chooses not to remain trapped in her bleak reality but is instead fighting vigorously after gaining the courage to try fighting.”

To find out what happens between Byun Eun Ah and Oh Jung Hee, catch the next episode of “We Are All Trying Here” on May 9 at 10:40 p.m. KST!

Spoilers

Previously, Hwang Dong Man, Jang Mi Ran (Han Sun Hwa), and Lee Jun Hwan (Sim Hee Sub) bonded through the common enemy of Park Kyung Se (Oh Jung Se).

The newly released preview stills showcase a cold atmosphere at AZIT with Byun Eun Ah (Go Youn Jung), Jang Mi Ran, Lee Jun Hwan, and Choi Dong Hyun (Choi Won Young) that is in stark contrast from the previous night.

Watch: A Lonely Koo Kyo Hwan Encounters Go Youn Jung Who Recognizes His Worth In “We Are All Trying Here” Teaser

JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here” has shared a teaser for its first episode!

“We Are All Trying Here” tells the story of Hwang Dong Man (Koo Kyo Hwan), who, surrounded by successful friends, believes he is the only one whose life isn’t working out. Consumed by anguish, envy, and jealousy, he sets out on a journey in search of peace.

The newly released video begins by highlighting Hwang Dong Man’s lonely struggle as he continues to pursue his dream of becoming a film director even after 20 long years.

Those around him offer only cynical remarks such as, “Do you really think Hwang Dong Man can debut?” and “Shouldn’t someone tell him to just quit already?” Even his older brother Hwang Jin Man (Park Hae Joon) scolds him, saying that having a proper job means “waking up in the morning, washing up, going out, and clenching your teeth as you give it your all like your life depends on it.”

In one scene, when Hwang Dong Man steps into a gathering of eight highly successful individuals—film directors, planning producers, and producers—a cold silence falls over the room. For Dong Man, who feels a deep sense of loneliness, this triggers his anxiety. Even so, he continues to push forward desperately, expressing his resolve to prove himself by any means necessary.

In another scene, Hwang Dong Man encounters Byun Eun Ah (Go Youn Jung), who recognizes his worth. Byun Eun Ah, who believes Dong Man seems like someone with a thousand doors all open, expresses curiosity about his script that everyone else turned down.

Watch the full teaser below!

The production team remarked, “The preview for episode 1 captures Hwang Dong Man’s lonely reality and the shining variable named Byun Eun Ah who appears before him. The two, who lived lonely lives, are expected to meet and begin to brighten each other’s worlds. Please tune in to the premiere of ‘We Are All Trying Here.’”

“We Are All Trying Here” will premiere on April 18 at 10:40 p.m. KST.

Watch: Koo Kyo Hwan, Go Youn Jung, And More Try To Find Meaning In “We Are All Trying Here” Highlight Teaser

JTBC’s “We Are All Trying Here” is gearing up for its premiere!

Through its highlight teaser, “We Are All Trying Here” unveiled three key points in the drama.

1. Hwang Dong Man’s struggle

Watch: Koo Kyo Hwan, Go Youn Jung, And More Try To Find Meaning In “We Are All Trying Here” Highlight Teaser插图

Hwang Dong Man is the only one to not have made his debut among his successful friends, who have all made a name for themselves in the film industry. Film producer Park Kyung Se (Oh Jung Se), who has released five films, comments, “He goes crazy when someone else succeeds and is crazy happy when they fail.” Go Hye Jin (Kang Mal Geum) notes that Hwang Dong Man makes chaos no matter where he goes, and Choi Hyo Jin (Park Ye Ni) expresses her wishes for Hwang Dong Man to be more quiet. However, Hwang Dong Man refutes, “There’s never been a moment where I’ve been quiet since I was born.” Although he wants to succeed, reality isn’t as easy, and Hwang Dong Man freely expresses his childish jealousy.

2. Hwang Dong Man and Byun Eun Ah’s support

Watch: Koo Kyo Hwan, Go Youn Jung, And More Try To Find Meaning In “We Are All Trying Here” Highlight Teaser插图1

While the world regards Hwang Dong Man’s monologues as noise, Byun Eun Ah (Go Youn Jung) sees him as someone with a thousand open doors. Struggling with being abandoned when she was nine years old, Byun Eun Ah now experiences nosebleeds every time she feels emotional overload. Hwang Dong Man’s sincerity, “Who would dare to toss you away?” sets Byun Eun Ah free. Hwang Dong Man also smiles when he’s with Byun Eun Ah, with both their watches turning from red to green to signify “heart-fluttering excitement” and “relief” for the first time in their lives. As they cross their watches that have turned green, the two begin to save each other, creating anticipation to see how their special relationship will unfold.

3. A story of us, who are all trying

Watch: Koo Kyo Hwan, Go Youn Jung, And More Try To Find Meaning In “We Are All Trying Here” Highlight Teaser插图2

One of the key questions in the drama is, “Why are we all trying so hard as if we won’t disappear one day?” The teaser shows the characters of the drama not chasing after extravagant success but rather fighting to prove themselves. In addition to Hwang Dong Man, who has been unable to make his debut for 20 years, there is Byun Eun Ah fighting the fear of abandonment, Park Kyung Se who is also struggling like Hwang Dong Man despite claiming to be different, Go Hye Jin who is embarrassed by such a husband, former poet Hwang Jin Man (Park Hae Joon) who has fallen after experiencing incompetence, Oh Jung Hee (Bae Jong Ok) who is struggling with being a perfectionist, and Jang Mi Ran (Han Sun Hwa) who becomes too immersed in her roles—all fighting in their own ways.

As Jang Mi Ran states, “I’m happy. To have relationships like this where we can go crazy together,” the “worthlessness” felt by the characters turn into meaningful solidarity. The highlight teaser ends as Hwang Dong Man stating, “I’m not even looking for success. I just want to release one project. So that I can overcome a little bit of worthlessness.”
